>>>I turned off the nvidia driver to get my computer to boot properly. I
did some other things at the same time so perhaps it was a coincidence
but it is working now and it would be better not to change anything in
the driver area at bootup.
Also, to get my projector to work on the prototype, I had to write
xorg.conf manually so it is no big deal.
I just was wondering how to tell what driver is actually being used
given this conflicting situation.
